In ancient times, when the lord of thunder fell in love
With a brave king's daughter of untold beauty and splendour,
With the force of a white beast
Thy lord imposed supremacy takin' with force
And might the price of honour and victory.
Her shining big eyes have seen the roots of our people's pride
And gave the name to our glorious pagan land!
She was the spark of war,
And so many fallen heroes blood made the rivers of Ancient Europe.
They died for her beauty, they died for honour,
They died for Europe, forefathers we call them
From the ancient Mediterranean sea
